Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law is an ass, said Dickens. If he had seen some of what we have collected here he would be more convinced than ever that his assertion was true. From the sheer comedy of parking elephants, not shooting buffalo and definitely not having sex with porcupines to the more worrying legislation against women, homosexuals and people from minority groups, this is a compilation from around the world of the more bizarre and disturbing actions of law-making bodies. A lot of this crazy law seems to come from US states –not a slur, just a fact. America is so multi-ethnic, cultural and religious that strange fusions were bound to emerge in some states. Strangely it seems that most have succumbed to this unfortunate disease at one time or other. See what weird laws apply where you are today!!
Download or read book A Peek at Loony Laws Passed by the Mentally Challenged written by Robert Pelton and published by . This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women not allowed to marry a eunuch? People who commit adultery have to be branded? No chili sauce allowed on any kind of food? Against the law in one part of the United States to make love to your wife if she's still a virgin? Samuel Johnson once remarked: "The law is the last result of human wisdom acting upon human experience for the benefit of the public." Do you agree with this bit of philosophical meandering? Let's take a sojourn into the land of laughable legalese before responding to this question. Then decide! Many of the old and odd laws from all over the world are still on the books. They were once passed by supposedly intelligent legislators -- but even this appears doubtful in many cases. Most are biased -- they are obviously based on the prejudices of the brain dead lawmakers. Many are humorous, yet rather frightening! Some are downright strange! Let's take a trip into the unique land of laughable legalese and while so doing please heed the words of Henry Ward Beecher. He said it all when he summed up his view on the art of lawmaking: "We bury men when they are dead, but we try to embalm the dead body of laws, keeping the corpse in sight long after the vitality has gone, It usually takes a hundred years to make a law; and then, after the law has done its work, it usually takes a hundred years to get rid of it." Beecher has a good point! His opinion still holds true in today's fast-paced jet age.
